Mac compatible Wired Routers?

I just bought an xBox 360. i bought a Linksys wired router thinking i could put the ethernet cable from my 360 and the ethernet cable from my DSL in there so i could use them at the same time. Well, the router came with a setup Cd that I can't run on my Mac. All I thought I had to do was hook up the wires since it hooks up to my modem and not my computer like a wireless one would.
So I guess i have a few questions. Is there still a way I can use this thing? and if not, are there Wired routers for the Mac I can get? I found this off a google search: http://www.macwireless.com/html/products/access_points/router.php
I'm not sure if it's ok or not, i'll let you guys decide.
Basically, all I want is a way that my family can use the internet at the same time as i'm playing on Live.

On the CD that came with the Linksys router is the Linksys User's guide. It describes how to use a web browser to configure the Linksys router.

  • Mac compatible Bluetooth dongle - wake on Bluetooth

    Hi
    I've searched for this but can't find anything specific, so apologies if it has been answered elsewhere but I can't find it...
    Can anybody recommend a confirmed Mac compatible Bluetooth USB dongle please? This is to add Bluetooth compatibility to an early Dual G5 PowerMac running 10.5.8 and I want to be able to wake the computer by moving the mouse or pressing a button on the keyboard.
    I've read threads saying the D-Link DBT-120 is the only one Apple confirm as compatible and will wake the computer, but only in certain revision numbers, and it doesn't seem to be available any more.
    Apple sell a Belkin one in the store but there is no information on if it will wake on Bluetooth.
    I have tried a different Belkin dongle which doesn't wake on Bluetooth, and a BlueNext one which used to work in my Mac but now doesn't work at all. Oddly the Belkin one works plugged into the front or back of the Mac but not plugged into the USB slots in the monitor whereas my old wired keyboard works fine plugged into the monitor...
    So any recommendations for one that's guaranteed to work with my Mac and does wake on Bluetooth would be great!
    Thanks,
    Simon

    That refers to Intel-based Macs running Mac OS X 10.6
    I can't find anything specifically about PowerPC-based Macs running 10.5.8, but it may be worth giving that adapter a go.
    If you can't try before buying, ensure you get it from somewhere that accepts returns if it doesn't happen to work.

  • Reviews or feedback on WIRELESS or ETHERNET mac compatible webcams

    Hi, to be clear not interested in USB webcams - I have a logitech 9000 - but am looking to put a web cam in another room (a security cam for the front of our home) running with securityspy (bensoft.com) so it isn't near the computer, hence needs to be either a) a wireless compatible model or one that can plug into an ethernet port with a networked address. I am aware of this great site that lists compatible cams
    http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
    but there are no listings of wireless or networked cams. Any takers on this one? And respectfully I'm not looking for "I think it might work" or "have you googled" - I'm trying to find someone who's used these things, found a solution perhaps etc.

    802.11b/g/n ... does not matter.
    You can have high interference from a lot of neighboring networks in a dense urban area. Keep in mind that the airwaves are a shared medium and 802.11 protocols use the access method CSMA/CA (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriersense_multiple_access_with_collisionavoidance) This means that the Apple TV can at times get no access to the network even though signal strength is high.
    If you can get a direct Ethernet connection to your router it will be much more reliable in an area where there are a lot of other 802.11 signals.
    If you really want to run wirelessly (or must) ...
    1. The 2.4 GHz band has 11 channels. But 802.11 uses 5 of them at the same time and the channel number is just a center channel. So in reality, there are only 3 non-overlapping channels available: 1, 6 and 11.
    2. Do you have a microwave running? Microwaves run on channel 6 (2.450 GHz). Try either channel 1 or channel 11 for your access point (AP).
    3. Most people use their AP out of the box on channel 6. Again, channels 1 or 11 have lower interference.
    4. Does your AP have an external antenna jack? If so, maybe you can find an antenna with more gain. If the antenna is directional, it can be aimed at your Apple TV and thus reduce the interfere from other networks.
    5. At last resort, you can also get Ethernet to run through your house wiring using powerline networking products.

  • If I have to format an external hard drive to make it Mac compatible, will it delete all the content in the external hard drive?

    If I have to format an external hard drive to make it Mac compatible, will it delete all the content in the external hard drive?

    As others have said, the answer to your question is a big YES.  Formatting a drive will delete everything!
    To keep your data, yet reformat the drive for optimal Mac compatibility, you will need to:
    1) copy your files to a different hard drive (I would recommend two different locations if you value your data)
    2) repartition/format the external drive
    3) then copy the files back to the external.
    You haven't given details but if you need the external to ONLY be compatible with the Mac (and no longer care if if can be read by Windows), then you will want to partition the drive using the GUID partition scheme, and format as the (HFS+) "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" filesystem.  You can do so using the built-in "Disk Utility" application on your Mac (in the Applications/Utilities directory).  Here are instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph5845
    If you need the drive to be compatible with both Mac and Windows computers then please post that so someone can recommend a solution for your specific needs.

  • How do I install my LG Super Multi BLADE Mac compatible external drive without the install disc?

    I can't find my install disc! How do I install my LG Super Multi BLADE Mac compatible external drive without the install disc?

    You don't have installer discs with that model. What do you need to do? USB and Thunderbolt external drives do not require any special software. If you need to partition and format them, then use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

  • Is there a good but free word processor that's Mac compatible?

    I don't know where else this question would belong so I just put it here. So, my question is: Is thier a free (but decent) word processor that's Mac compatible that I can download off of the internet? I've already used up my free trial of "Pages" that came with my iMac. I'd also like it to be able to save and print off text documents and also be PC compatible as well.

    Hi, you already have Text Edit, I use BEAN//it's pretty good, but you can Google your requirements and there are quite a few "freebies"

  • Pc & mac compatible wireless ethernet lacie mini drive how to format?

    ok, I have a ethernet drive connected to my wireless modem/router. My pc laptop sees it no problem, but my macbook pro won't. I know it's because the lacie drive is NTFS formatted, but I can't for the life of me work out how to reformat it to FAT32. Any ideas? Any lacie forums out there I can ask? Ta.

    I have two ethernet drives connected to my router.
    There isn't a hope of even communicating with them on the Mac because there's no Mac compatible software available to do it.
    I've no intention of dabbling with them because I might lose the data. Time Capsule appears to be a solution to this one.

  • Bought a media streamer, don't think its mac compatible

    Hello,
    not sure where to drop this post, but I'm gonna give it a shot over here
    yesterday I bought a mediastreamer, nothing fancy, just something which I hoped did the trick.
    It's this one:
    http://www.grabngocollection.com/site/desktopdefault.aspx?tabindex=1&tabid=232&c id=30&gid=3020&pid=CM3H
    ofcourse you could say, theres nothing on the box wich says it's mac compatible, ok you're right.
    But the weird thing is, the macintoch finds the cm3H and shows the icon on the screen, but the map is read only. So I can't drop files there. While I plugged it on my old windows laptop it did work. So what I'm wondering is if there is a way where I could like, adjust the map myself so he can read and write? Please if anyone knows how, keep in mind, that I'm not a big computer wizzard
    Thanks in advance!

    Damnit, looks like its not working for a full 100% .
    The HD is now read and write, and yes I can drop files there, but when plugged into the television, it also shows the maps, but not the files.
    Was too good to be true
    Thanks anyway!

  • Downloading then converting FLAC files to Mac compatible formats

    Hi all...
    I've been downloading music from archive.org and I always go for the mp3 files for one simple reason: I just don't know how to deal with the FLAC files. I've read dozens of posts here and still don't get it... so I live with the compressed mp3's. When I do try to access the FLAC's they appear in my Safari browser window through the Quicktime plug in. But how do I get them to my hard drive.... and then convert to one of the Mac compatible formats. The latter part seems pretty straightforward with the proper converter. But I can't seem to get my hands on the FLAC's themselves.
    So.... 2 questions: getting the FLAC's on board and .... a user friendly converter.
    Thanks!

    What kind of file is it really?
    It's a FLAC file. FLAC is its own format just like mp3 or AAC. I don't know the details of what is going on with iTunes. Fluke is making iTunes do something it wasn't designed to do so it isn't too surprising that iTunes may not be able to identify the files correctly. Likewise, when you tried to open a FLAC file in a browser window that browser application contains a list of applications to try to use to open files of various formats, but that doesn't mean it will always work. I could tell my browser to open Excel spreadsheet files in iTunes, but that doesn't mean iTunes will be able to do that. Since FLAC is an audio format the browser probably is set to toss all audio files at Quicktime in the hopes it can open them. I don't know if FLAC plugins exist for browsers. I use VLC to play individual FLAC files, or COG if I have a bunch (both free). You ccould set up your browser to fire up VLC if you download a FLAC file.

  • How to save mac compatible ai eps and pdf on windows

    how to save mac compatible ai eps and pdf on windows

    haykaz,
    You can, but there may be no need. There is, or at least may be, a certain deterioration in appearance when you outline fonts, especially in connexion will small point sizes.
    Rereading, I noticed the PDF part. Normally, the fonts are embedded in PDF and thereby platform independent.
    Have you tried and found any issues?

  • I need a Mac compatible photo scanner

    Does anyone know a good scanner that is Mac compatible that I can scan old photos and have them come out good so I can store them in IPhoto. I can't seem to find one that isn't for Windows or a PC. I would really like to preserve my old photos in my computer.

    Hi,
    I just got the HP G4050 last week. It's scans Pics, 35mm slides and negatives. I have scanned 166 35mm slides and have imported them into iPhoto. So far It's words great. The only thing is that you need to download the MAC Leopard software from the HP site, and they don't tell you that in the instructions that come with the scanner.
